Liberty Picnic: Embroidering the Edges, Step Two

Triangle Stitch 

I don't know what to call this little pink edge stitch. If anyone knows it's proper name please let us know. For now I'll call it the "triangle stitch." 

• Thread a 24" length of pink embroidery thread and tie a small knot 3-inches from the end.
• Pull the needle through a few threads of the very edge of the Kona Cotton side of the napkin, in between two of the blue stitches as shown above.
  

 

• Pull the pink thread down through the left side of the right hand running stitch and back up through the right side of the left hand running stitch as pictured above.

• Place your needle into the top fold of the Kona Cotton, a few threads to the right of the knot, so the thread over laps itself a little. 
• Slip the needle through this fold (do not poke through to the Liberty side of the napkin) and pull your needle out along the top fold, in between the two next running stitches as pictured above.

• When you pull the pink thread the "triangle" will appear.
• Repeat all the way around the napkins edge and hide the ends in the same way as in Step One, above.
